Well I Do.
Do you know what it feels like to be imprisoned by your own mind, well I do.
Do you what it feels like to not make sense of your surroundings, well I do.
Do you know what it feels like to hear things that are not there, well I do.
Do you know what it feels like to hear these things telling you to endanger you and others around you, well I do.
Do you ever feel like you are lost never to return, well I do.
Do you ever feel like youre so close to happiness but can never reach, well I do.
Do you ever feel like youll never regain normality, well I do.
Do you ever think youre sane trapped in an insane world, well I do
Do you ever think your perception of reality is right when in fact its not, well I do.
Do you think you are alone in this world with no one who know what youre going through or what youre feeling, WELL YOUR NOT.

I don't have schizophrenia; but I love someone who does and it's very heartbreaking. Thank you for sharing your poem with us. Just so you know though, we all have our own perception of reality, we're all struggling for happiness, sometimes we all feel we are lost, and we all want to be a little bit more normal; there's no such thing as normal. So when you think about it, we're not all that different at all. Thanks again. Hugs!
